After more searching around, this is an idea: a timer installed to a hose spigot attached to a drip system, like they did here:

I'd never leave a water system running in my house if I was gonna be gone for a significant amount of time. In fact, if I were gonna be gone more than a week or two I would shut off the water in the whole house. But that's just me. If your lanai is just a screened in one, it's probably less of a big deal.
